Gifted with a rich artistic heritage, James  has been painting since childhood. He has developed his own unique style, realistically depicting the beauty found in his own local landscapes of Sonoma County, California. Nevertheless, he has not limited himself to this area. His love of backpacking has taken him into the Sierras, the Marble Mountains of California and the back country of Utah. Each locale lends itself to its own extraordinary portrayal of beauty, which he delights to capture on his canvases. His desire is to transport you there... see your own reflection in the stillness of the lakes... feel the ocean waves wash over you... hear the rustling of the leaves in the trees. It is Jim’s hope that you be inspired to a deeper level of appreciation of God’s glorious panorama.

"I like to create art that you never get tired of looking at; art that you can enjoy and see something new in the picture every day."
